What if the AI boom isn’t creating wealth, but quietly shifting trillions of dollars in risk onto ordinary Americans?

In this episode of A Stern Talk, William Stern sits down with entrepreneur and small business advocate Tiffany Cianci to discuss the hidden financial system behind AI, private equity, data centers, retirement funds, and corporate monopolies.

Tiffany explains why companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX may be racing toward public markets, how index funds could expose retirement accounts to major losses, and why private credit firms are suddenly struggling to return investor money.
